  • A "Hot Take" on Personalized mRNA Medicines

    mRNA’s small-scale and cell-free production are often-touted benefits in the personalized medicines sphere. But as I reviewed my notes from the BioPhorum ATMP member event, I found myself coming face to face with a difficult truth.

  • The RNA Therapeutics Supply Chain: A Platform of Relationships

    Conversations digging into RNA-specific sourcing considerations have been few and far between. Enter Sanofi's Greg Troiano. Together, we delved into the nuances, challenges, and opportunities for growth that currently exist within the mRNA drug substance and drug product (i.e., mRNA-LNP) raw material sourcing worlds.

  • 4 Risk Mitigation Strategies For mRNA Production

    Planning and procuring custom materials needed to manufacture mRNA remains a top concern. This article shares risk mitigation strategies for multi-sourcing, S&OP process, packaging size, and material expiry.

  • ARW's ATMP Manufacturing Must-Reads (ST. PATRICK'S DAY EDITION!)

    Day-in and day-out, I write, read, listen to, and watch as much content as I can about CGT and RNA therapy manufacturing, in particular, and/or other ATMP industry-related topics that you should at least be aware of in the manufacturing facility. Once a month, I compile the articles and industry updates I think are most worthy of your time into an unconventional roundup article.

  • Assessing Quality Of mRNA Vaccines: Key Considerations

    To address the need for standards for mRNA vaccines, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has convened vaccine experts to identify important quality attributes and to propose test methods that can be used to assess mRNA vaccine products. This article shares those CQAs and analytical procedure tips.

  • From Misinformation To Medicine: Forging Bipartisan Support to Reverse Anti-mRNA Policy

    In this article, I’ll share some of the progress AMM has made and the barriers the organization/our industry is still facing in our efforts to reverse the policy decisions that have been made against mRNA today. Throughout the panel, the speakers also shared their thoughts on the types of messaging we should be considering and/or have started to see making an impact.

In this opening Advancing RNA Live clip, NanoVation Therapeutics’ Dominik Witzigmann and Stealth Co’s John Zuris share the scientific advancements they’ve been watching most keenly in the LNP space, as well as some of the evolutions they’re seeing in the overall quality of our RNA-LNP products.

In this Advancing RNA Live segment, several speakers raise concerns about the industry's ability to accurately measure impurities, particularly dsRNA, arguing that current analytics are insufficient, especially for high-dose therapeutics.

Learn how single-use technologies deliver important benefits for mRNA manufacturing, including increased speed, quality, flexibility, and adaptability to different dosages and scale-up strategies.

Here, Ethris’ Christan Dohmen and Tune Therapeutics’ Stu Sundseth share their take on the most meaningful strategies for reducing dsRNA production. But this discussion also probes a deeper question: Is dsRNA still the most relevant impurity the industry should be chasing, or should focus shift to other contaminants?
